The cotton-woollike clouds floated lazily in the blue sky, and the sun hid in the clouds shyly, occasionally showing a small half of its face to look out, and the face was a little less brilliant, but it made the earth much more comfortable.

"Hey, no one knows me on this street, who will laugh at our family." Qingwei pursed her lips, but she didn't lift the curtain again, but just looked out through the gap in the bamboo curtain.

Qing Dai sat in the corner of the carriage, listening to Qinglian's preaching with her eyes closed, and a fan in her hand.

"Third sister, work harder." Qingwei glanced at Qinglian, who was still noisy, and turned around and smiled at Qingdai, "I can blow it here, and now this little wind is like tickling." ”

Qingdai slapped a fan on Qingwei's buttocks, and scolded with a smile: "As far as you know, enjoy it, watching the cool breeze blowing in the street scene, and calling like a little girl." ”

Qinglian's speech was interrupted, and she looked at the two of them ignoring her, her face was embarrassed, she gritted her teeth, and turned her head to look out of the window on the other side.

Qingdai and the others arrived at Qi's house, and the grandmother at the door led them to meet Mrs. Qi. Mrs. Qi invited the old lady to take a seat, "Come on, quickly serve tea to the old lady." I was afraid that you wouldn't come, but I didn't expect you to come so early. ”

Mrs. Qi said: "How can it! It's too late for me to be happy! Today, Mrs. Wupinghou and Mrs. Zou were also invited. ”

The two exchanged two words, and the old lady asked Qingdai and the three of them to greet Mrs. Qi.

At this time, Qi Zhen came.

"I haven't seen each other for more than two years, and the six girls have become more and more delicate." The old lady took back a red gold bracelet and gave it to Qi Zhen.

As soon as she went out, Qi Zhen lost the regular appearance she had just now, and pulled Qingdai with a smile, "Let me take a good look, well, I'm taller, and my face has become beautiful." Tsk, it still feels the same as in the past! As he spoke, he stretched out his paw and pinched Qing Dai's face twice.

Qi Zhen pouted, "Stingy!" ”

Qinglian saw that the two of them were so enthusiastic as soon as they went out, only to realize that she had neglected a very important matter, and turned her head to see Qingwei following her disapprovingly, and after making trouble for a long time, she didn't know the relationship between the six girls of the Qi family and Qingdai. Qinglian sighed, suppressed her slightly anxious emotions, and then remembered that Xiao Feng also borrowed Qingdai's light, and her heart suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, so she took a step forward and interjected with a smile: "It turns out that the third sister and Miss Zhen are old acquaintances." ”

Qinglian smiled and didn't ask anything more.

Mrs. Qi was busy entertaining the guests, and Qi Zhen helped greet the girls who came with her. Because they are all acquaintances of the Qi family, they often meet each other in social interactions. Qingdai and they are new to Beijing, so Qi Zhen specially introduced the three Qingdai sisters to the girls of these families, including Zhao Shilang of the Ministry of Etiquette, Zhou Bachelor of Hanlin Academy, Zou of Dali Temple Shaoqing and Wuping Hou Wang's family.

Tingjia hurriedly introduced Qingdai and them, "This is my eleventh sister Tinglan, who belongs to the dragon, is timid, and she came out for the first time, which made you laugh." ”

Qi Zhen introduced: "This is Qingwei, the fourth sister of Qingdai. ”

The dragon looked up, but the dragon was too shy. Qing Dai looked at it and felt a little funny.

The girls were amused by Qingwei's depressed expression, and those like Qi Zhen laughed out loud, and some hid their faces with handkerchiefs and laughed.

Qingdai laughed, but what Qingwei said flashed in her head again, she was born in October, and the smile on her face was slightly sluggish. Not long after she wore it, Shangguan Hong's family left, and every year she brought gifts to Qingyang to bring all the birthday gifts at one time, and she never asked her brothers and sisters in detail when they were born, and only waited for the day to let Yinhong remind them. She only learned today that Qingwei was born in October. A year after Wang Wanniang's death, Xiao Feng entered the door in March, and gave birth to Qingwei in October...... The scene of seeing Xuan's for the first time three years ago appeared in front of Qing Dai's eyes again, could it be that Fei Niang's death was related to Xiao Feng's?

Qing Dai shook her head, "It's okay, I feel a little stuffy with many people in the house." ”

Tingjia is a frequent visitor, knowing the Liuhua Pavilion, clapping his hands and praised: "It's secluded there, and the scenery is good." You ask people to set out some fruit and tea, and let's go there and talk. ”

Everyone followed Qi Zhen through the verandah, passed the crescent gate, went north to the back garden, the terrain gradually went higher, entered a lush forest, walked fifty steps and turned a corner, a pool of clear water stood a hexagonal pavilion, covered with tiles, blue brick treasure top, the corners are high, the lines are beautiful and smooth, and the distance looks like a green crane fluttering its wings. The pavilion is surrounded by water on three sides, surrounded by lush and lush flowers, and it is indeed an elegant place.

Qing Dai saw that the scenery here was good, and her mood also improved, and she couldn't help but take two steps faster, wanting to take a closer look.

"General, bite it, bite it—"

Everyone looked at each other and looked at Qi Zhen.

Tingjia also saw Qi Zhen's strange appearance, "Yes! Don't worry, take the girls to walk around elsewhere first, and leave someone to take a look. ”

Ting Jia hurriedly said to the other girls: "Mrs. Qi is a famous lotus lover in Beijing, and the lotus flowers she raises are different from other places. There's a pond over there that is specifically used by Mrs. to raise lotus, so let's go over there first to take a look, otherwise we won't even see the flowers when we come back, and what kind of flower appreciation banquet it is! ”

Qing Dai echoed two sentences, and the others didn't say much.
